To mass-produce technologies that exploit graphene’s exciting electronic and optical properties, manufacturers will need to make large, high-quality films quickly. Turns out, fluorine can help. The ...

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis reported the first observations of a new form of fluorine, the isotope 13 F, described in the journal Physical Review Letters. They made their ...

Researchers in Austria found that fluorine and fluoropolymer content in PV backsheets has significantly decreased over the past three decades, driven by a shift from fluorine-rich multilayer ...

What is Reactive Ion Etching (RIE)? Reactive Ion Etching (RIE) is a dry etching technique widely used in the fabrication of micro- and nanodevices. It combines the chemical reactivity of reactive ...
